Will the GOP Survive 2024?

Although even if he is convicted of something or other over next few months, there’s still a good chance that Trump will be the GOP’s nominee when we all show up to vote on November 5th. And if he’s still the Presidential candidate for the red team on that date, I suspect he’ll be defeated for the second time.

John Quincy Adams lost two Presidential elections in 1820 and 1828, but he also was elected President in 1824. William Jennings Bryan lost two back-to-back elections in 1896 and 1900, and then lost a third time in 1908. Dewey lost in 1944 and 1948, Stevenson took the shneid in 1952 and 1956, and there were several third-party candidates like Ross Perot who also made the Presidential ballot a few times but never went further than that.

I have to assume that after Trump craps out later this year, he’ll try to stick around for a while but sooner or later even the MAGA Republicans will get sick of him and tell him to shut the fuck up and go away.
